Handheld scopes aid CANbus troubleshooting
The compact Fluke ScopeMeter 120 Series of industrial handheld oscilloscopes are a rugged solution for on-the-job troubleshooting.
When testing a current controlled loop, they allow the user to not only provide a digital readout of the instantaneous current but also a graphical display using the oscilloscope function.
This graphical view, with the large bandwidth, enables identification of any interference from low or high frequency signals.
The 600V Category III safety-certified ScopeMeters also offer the opportunity to take measurements over a prolonged time period.
In the TrendPlotT mode, short-term interrupts can be readily spotted on-screen.
On the 124 model, the cursor and real-time clock further aid analysis of recorded phenomena.
The voltage across a suspect component can be checked using the second channel of the ScopeMeter.
The meter also acts as a basic component tester, measuring resistance, capacitance and providing diode test.
Fluke offers a range of process calibration tools, including the 740 Series documenting process calibrators and the 705/707 and 707EX loop calibrators.
